00:00I
00:30it is time to go so we're gonna hand it off to mission control and launch this
00:36rocket go new shepherd go ten nine eight seven six five four command to end this
00:47start two one
00:51and new shepherd has cleared the tower if you're following along from home you can note the speed
01:12and altitude graphics on your screen to the left and as the capsule and the booster separate you'll
01:18also be able to see those graphics split and follow their ascent and descent as well and right
01:26now the engine is at 100 power level a beautiful shot there of the ve3 begin throttle down for cue
01:37limiting and in response nominal and here we are approaching our cue bucket what is that
01:48for our viewers who don't know it's where there's maximum dynamic pressure oh we have the max
01:53aerodynamic stress um on the vehicle and so we're actually going to power down the engine as we go
01:58through that bucket excellent mach one vehicle supersonic engine maintaining full throttle
02:07chamber pressure is nominal
02:18we're about a minute and a half just passing 60,000 feet
02:27I love shots like this where you can just see the glow of the engine yeah the ve3 shining bright a great
02:47shot from our long-range camera over 100,000 feet now and we've also got a camera there on the booster
02:55looking back down on west texas
02:57begin throttle down stand by miko
03:04for our viewers who are just joining us and don't know miko is our main engine cutoff
03:13miko confirmed and there you have it
03:18stand by separation separation confirmed
03:30and as I mentioned if you look to the left hand side of your screen you'll notice that the telemetry
03:40has split so you'll be able to follow the capsule and the booster separately they reach apogee at right
03:45about the same time look good
04:08you'll also notice on your screen we've reached zero g i know there are so many students and teachers
04:14watching today we say hello to you and we are also excited to learn more about your experiments and the
04:19results of those experiments when the carmen line then there you have it the
04:24capsule has passed the carmen line and yeah we can't wait to learn more once
04:29ns35 returns back to west texas
04:44i always think it's so cool to have that split screen where you can see texas from the booster and we've got that long-range
04:51camera that i know it's kind of hard to see but we do have the booster and the capsule there
04:55capsule appetite at three hundred and forty five thousand feet
04:59yeah soon on the image on the right we'll be able to see oh you can kind of see it you can see two little dots that is the capsule and the booster
05:06they've reached apogee they've crossed the carmen line and now they are making their way back down to west texas and since we do have so many students watching today claire do you want to kind of explain why the booster will land first
05:13yeah so the booster is going to land about two miles north of the launch pad and it is more aerodynamic so it is going to go through the air a lot faster than the capsule therefore it's going to land before the crew capsule lands
05:25that's right there were a lot of people who have to land before the capsule that's right that's right they've reached apogee they've crossed the carmen line and now they're making their way back down to west texas and since we do have so many students watching today
05:33and it is more aerodynamic, so it is going to go through the air a lot faster than the capsule.
05:40Therefore, it's going to land before the crew capsule lands.
05:43That's right.
05:43The crew capsule, as you notice, is more of a teardrop shape.
05:46Booster descent nominal through 300,000 feet.
05:52And we are watching the booster and the capsule from our long-range cameras out in West Texas.
05:58Capsule body rates look good.
06:03Just over five minutes into NS35.
06:19Booster descent nominal.
06:21The booster coming in under 200,000 feet.
06:35An autonomous landing is what you'll see.
06:37Again, as Claire mentioned, about two miles from our launch pad.
06:40Capsule has reached atmospheric pierce point.
06:47Confirmed booster forward fin deploys.
06:49So those forward fins are some of our aerodynamic surfaces that help us fly and return back to the landing pad.
06:59You've just got to ask me what's going on.
07:01I'll show you what's going on here if you're going to turn it back.
07:06One left side, up tight up and ganze power and return back, until she climbs forward into both arms,
07:07so that's okay, but we probably won't do anything again.
07:08wkense of礼 rit
07:22Here comes the booster.
07:23Just passed six inches in half inchescca.
07:28Just past six and a half minutes into flight.
07:30Great shot there.
07:34Booster drag brakes deployed.
07:39And now we're coming up to my favorite part,
07:41is when we will actually relight the engine and the booster lands.
07:46Let's see it.
07:54Engine restart.
07:58Booster touchdown. Welcome home, New Shepard booster.
08:16Welcome home, New Shepard booster.
08:19Yes, beautiful touchdown and great shots from our camera operators.
08:53Welcome home, New Shepard booster.
09:03Hello, New Shepard booster.
09:05Welcome home, New Shepard booster.
09:09Welcome home, New Shepard booster.
09:12Welcome home, New Shepard.
